Blackberry to iPhone 3G - ARGH: help with push-pull-sync

I just switched from a blackberry to iPhone and cant figure out how to have my email/contacts/calendars sync'd in REAL TIME across my phone and PC. My primary email account is on a personal domain and I primarily use my phone and Outlook (thick client) to manage emails, contacts and calendar items.
My blackberry would do all of this automatically and I didn't need to run any special software (such as activesync) on a server to obtain this functionality.
It seems like I could setup a "@me.com' account to do this in a round about sort of way however is this really necessary to have this type of functionality? I've got to believe that there is a 'blackberry way' to do this.
I don't want or need another email address. I just want real-time synchronization of email/contacts/calendars for my EXISTING email address / existing domain.
Can someone help? Thanks!

RIM provides a dedicated email delivery service and over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events so ActiveSync isn't required, but this isn't free to companies that incorporate it instead of using a direct connection to their Exchange Server with mobile devices via ActiveSync.
Not sure how this works with a personal account.
Apple does not provide a dedicated email delivery service for different email accounts and for an Exchange account. Apple licensed ActiveSync from Microsoft for the iPhone which provides for Push access with an Exchange account, along with over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events direct between the iPhone and the Exchange server.
Apple provides a MobileMe account - which is designed for personal use and is "Exchange for the rest of us". This includes Push access for the MM email account, and over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events between the iPhone, the supported application or applications on your computer, and the MobileMe "cloud".
If you want over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events with your iPhone, you need an Exchange Account that supports accessing the account via ActiveSync, or a MobileMe account.

HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

Please can someone help with a problem syncing my iPhone 4 to Outlook

Hi all,
Since obtaining my iPod and my iPhone 4, they have been happily syncing with my Outllook profile on my home PC. I use outlook top organise my contacts, calendar and notes which is what is synced between devices. Earlier this year my hard drive crashed on my PC rendering this facility useless. I have now bought a new laptop and have set up my Outlook profile on that. However, now that it is set up and I connect my iPhone/iPod to the laptop, it will not sync between the Outlook profile and the device. I have succeeded in backing up my devices to the laptop and even (eventually) upgrading the IOS on my iPhone to version 7. But I am still unable to get the sync working. I obviously have more data on my iPhone than in the Outlook, so do not wish to wipe the phone and sync from Outlook.
I have read on here that the Outlook profile has to be set to default, which I have already done. Any assistance with this would be gratefully received

Hello there, TheAxeman69.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great, in-depth recommendations for troubleshooting sync issues with Outlook:

Sorry for my english

Try resetting your phone. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). There may also be issues with the notification server(s).

New to iPhone and need help with syncing contacts.

I know how to change the settings in the iTunes view so that I can set it to sync, but when I started the transfer of my iPhone contacts it tells me that 25% of my contacts will change. What does this mean? Does this mean that the contacts on my iPhone will change, or the contacts in my Address Book on my MBP will change?
I'm a bit confused by this. I don't want to lose my address book info (mostly e-mail contacts) and I don't want to contaminate my iPhone contacts with the data in my Address Book.
Thanks for any help.

One alternative would be to set up iCloud and then sync your contacts there. This would keep them on www.iCloud.com (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ to set this up). Another would be to sync them with Google by setting up a gmail account as and exchange account, which enables contact and calendar syncing. To do this see http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740.

I lost my IPhone need your help with a question ty

I just lost my iphone on Nov. 17th, 07 and i just wonder does iphone has Satellite positioning function, if it does can i use serial and IMEI number to find where it is or they are both not related, any suggestions will be great thank you for paying attention.

What is really unfortunate is that, if the phone is turned on, the carrier DOES know (within some area) where the phone is located. All carriers have a system for doing so, whether it is GPS enabled, or triangulation based on distance from the cell towers.
Unfortunately, AT&T is not in the business of helping its customers track down lost phones.
Oh so frustrating.

Help with pushing records to next page in report

Hi,
I am trrying to create a report that will display records on seperate pages. My record set has a common reference number with many other detail columns. So an example would be:
ref num 1         detail        detail        detail
ref num 1         detail        detail        detail
ref num 1         detail        detail        detail
ref num 2         detail        detail        detail
ref num 2         detail        detail        detail
ref num 2         detail        detail        detail
and so on...
I need the report to take the records from ref num1 for the first page (or more if necessary) and then start a new page for the next record and so on. I have tried using the "New page after" function with no sucess and really hope someone here has overcome this and can help.
Thanks a mil
Phil.

Hi Sastry,
The report is actually a batch of invoices. I have a stored Procedure returning the records of the invoices and the report template is so far set up as follows,
the page header has unique invoice details listed there.
--- name and address etc
the details section is supressed
there is a group footer section with the repeating product details of the invoice there.
--- date, product 1, amount, total
--- date, product 2, amount, total etc...
the report is sorted by the date of the products in the croup section
there is a page footer section similar to the page header.
--- totals information
when the report is for one invocie it will work as the products all appear in the group section as expected. when the report is for more than one invoice it mixes all the records up and prints two invoices with incorrect details. the record set returned by the stored procedure is as per my first thread.
I hope this makes some sense. I have not had much crystal reports training and may need to start this one from scratch. Bacically we have a system that uses crystal to print our invoices. The system will only ever output one invoice record at a time. I copied the report template hoping i could adapt it to be able to print many records at a time as a report.
Thanks a mil for you time all the same.

HT4528 I am trying to sync iTunes and download ringtones from Apple store. I am not able to on my iPhone. need help with these two issues

I am having issues with several areas on my iPhone:
1. When I am trying to update my iTunes on my phone from my laptop I have trouble syncing to my iPhone. How do I get my songs from iTunes transfered to my iPhone?
2. I am not able to purchase/download ring tones to my iPhone. Am I able to purchase ringtones?
3. My daughter has an iPhone also, and it appears that we have to share contacts? My phone was populated with her contacts and vice versa. How do I seperate the contacts?

If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, download iTunes 10.6.3. This requires Mac OS X 10.5.8.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater, and then install iTunes 11.

Hello, my iPad will not receive push notifications over my wireless network, yet works on every other network. Tried changing dns to 8.8.8.8, no dice. Any ides what could be changed on my router?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.

Help with Outlook 2010 sync calanders and contacts by iCloud! please help!

I've got an quesstion:
I got Microsoft office 2010 x86 on my windows 7 PC.
With the iCloud program V 1.0.1
I checked all boxes : mail, contacts, calanders/ tasks, bookmarks, photo stream
Now the question is..
When i open my outlook, i can see my mail from my icloud account..
But is there a possible way, that icloud sync my outlook 2010 with the contacts and calenders to?
Because all i can see is my mail, my calander and contacts are empty?
Isnt that what iCloud stand for, auto sync?
Or is the only way to put contacts by checking in iTunes the contacs and calanders??
So its not possible that icloud sync auto, like it sync from iphone 4s to ipad, to icloud.com...
So what i try to say is if you add contact on your iphone 4s whereever you are.. that it auto sync with oudlook 2010 like it does on icloud.com and my ipad 2
same idea as photostream..
Please help me.. if there is a solution how to fix this!

Help with erasing and syncing please - what will be erased?

I have somehow created a 2nd itunes account and my iphone won't sync with the first one. It is syncing with the 2nd one however I cannot add new music - if I try on the 2nd one I get a message asking if I want to erase this iphone and sync with this itunes library. Below this is a warning that erasing and syncing will replace the contenst of this iphone with the contents of this itunes library. What exactly will be erased? If it's just the music and photos then I won't mind - my phone is new and not got much on it. However I don't want to lose all my apps and contacts information. I know I can back it all up but I am not very knowledgable about all this - I am new to itunes and iphones just last month! Any advice gratefully recieved - thank-you!

OK so its been a LONG time since messing with this but now I have to get it done. I have tried all this that is stated in this thread and I can do what I am looking for IF I start a new file, draw a few shapes, apply the pathfinder divide.
However, with this file I am working with I can not figure out why I cant get it to work.
Again, what i am trying to do is have a LOT of lines crossing over the edges of the templates that are the shapes in my AI file. Think 80's style Eddie Van Halen guitar. They're going to be graphic for my sons motorcycle for his birthday.
I was trying to simply use the rectangle tool to draw various black and white lines and then somehow cut the overhangs off my templates.
Very frustrating that I cant figure out what I am doing wrong!! Especially since I am fairly proficient in After Effects, Premiere, and Photoshop. Trying to learn Illustrator though!!
By the way using CS3
Thanks for anyone that can help me!!!
You can download my project file here.

Be patient when you can use it at 100%, you will be amazed!

Please help with storm/Mac sync.

I can't fully enjoy all the tools on my bb until I can sync it with my computer, I can't get the bluetoooth working either. the cd and the pocketMac for blackberry haven't helped. I've been struggling with this for 6 months as I really need the pda aspect of bb.

Hi their!
It looks like you've posted into the 8800-series forum...but your subject line states "storm"...are you on a Storm?
And, there is an entire forum dedicated to MAC integration...it would be best I think if we move your thread there. Stand by and it will be over there shortly:
